The National Hotel

The National Hotel has just completed a four million dollar renovation and updating, while maintaining the grand dame's wild west, gold country roots. Rooms and public areas have many of their original fixtures (phones & lighting) and furniture. All rooms are luxury, many with jacuzzis, balconies, heated floors, fireplaces and so much more. Most of the 150 year old bar has been kept in tact and now is an elegant venue for meeting and imbibing, or while waiting for your table at our fine dinner house.

Meh.

My family of four was looking to spend one night in CA Gold Country and did a lot of research on hotels. We chose the National Hotel because of the reviews and the fact they offered rooms with a king-sized bed and a twin trundle for my teens. When we arrived, the town seemed shut down. We had just come from Placerville, which was bustling, and were disappointed in the lack of activity here. The hotel lobby is very cool but the reception upon check in pretty much indifferent. Our room was very dark. The king bed was okay but the kids found the trundle uncomfortable. When we pulled out the bottom bed we found a kid's blanket that had been left behind. We returned it to the front desk, and they were again, indifferent. The breakfast was basic but good enough. Upon check out, no one asked how our stay was, wished us a good day, etc. Not a huge deal but IMO, these things do matter. We went on to various other towns in Gold Country and liked pretty much all of them better. If ever to visit again, I would stay elsewhere.

The Inn at 161 (Formerly Grey Gables)

The Inn at 161 -- Modern-Day Lodging with Gold Country Charm! The Inn was recently purchased from Roger and Sue Garlick, the longtime owners of the (then) Grey Gables Bed and Breakfast. After many decades of welcoming thousands into their home, they have decided to retire. We wish them a healthy and enjoyable retirement. As the new owners, Scott and Chris Pinheiro, along with family member, Kerry Alvernaz, we have begun placing our personal touches on the Inn. We have been actively working to update the Charming English Bed and Breakfast into Sutter Creek's newest present-day, Boutique Inn. Rest assured, although the Garlicks have retired, the sparkling clean rooms, hospitable service and delightful amenities will all remain. Although there will be many changes yet to come, for those who are returning, we look forward to welcoming you back to Sutter Creek and to our newly transformed Inn. For those who are first timers, we are encouraged you decided to stay with us and can't wait to share our Inn with you.

Comfortable but lacked charm

Reviewed By SfNmb23

Mary greeted us and Kerry served breakfast. Both were very nice and welcoming. It was the best continental breakfast. Yogurt parfait, hard boiled eggs, homemade coffee cake, fruit and cappuccinos. Very satisfying. I was only disappointed in the room itself which felt like a standard motel room given the B&B looked so nice from the outside.

Needs repair but friendly staff

Reviewed By travelingtrav2022

Hotel workers/maintenance blare loud music from their cars and seem to live onsite. They drink more beer than a frat party, swim in the pool that says “closed” and enjoy staring at you as you walk from your car to your room. Bathroom door was loose on hinges and would not close. Bathroom light and desk lamp did not work, switch was destroyed and could have shocked me. Door to hotel room was loose in door jamb and would move back and forth half inch even when locked. Friendly staff and good breakfast but rooms weren’t clean, had crumbs/lint on the floor, and hair was in the sink. Dirty and needs repair and maintenance. Disappointed in what appeared to be a nice place from the website and when we arrived.

Hotel in a Great Location

Reviewed By Vacation57317100275

The motel is located very near the town of Plymouth and the Amador County wine area. It is very clean and the main room and bathroom were quite large and comfortable. The area is rural and very quiet and the hotel is located on a hill above the main road. The parking lot is large and can accommodate large vehicles.

Open tournaments for fishing happen yearly at Lake Pardee and Camanche Lake is fun to take a swim in or even to break some waves on your jet skis! Golfers tend to love the fact that there are two golf courses in our area including Mace Meadows Golf Course being minutes up Highway 88. There are tournaments, fun events and great people and food! All located within 20 - 30 minutes from our hotel, you'll find wineries in stretches of Plymouth and the Shenandoah Valley with rows of cascading vineyards for miles to see. Snuggled nicely in the winery area is the Amador Flower Farm which features vibrant flowers, plants and staff!A pumpkin patch excites many in the Fall as well!

(Check out our Ski and Stay Package on our website during Ski Season.) Chaw'se Indian Grinding Rock State Park in Pine Grove, up Highway 88, is great for a solo retreat and a pleasure for couples or even families. They are also ADA compliant. A few miles down the road from this beautiful park, you'll find the just-big-enough town of Volcano, which has wonderful features including an outdoor amphitheater and cavern tours at Black Chasm. You can fill a photo album with fantastic captures of Daffodil bulbs from the 1800's that peak out each year at Daffodil Hill, just a few minutes' drive from Volcano. This outstanding family-owned (and still occupying the property daily as a residence) ranch and farm, opens their gates for a couple weeks in the Spring to the public and is a MUST-SEE of Amador County. Try your luck at the Jackson Rancheria Indian Casino, just 5 miles from here. Entertainment and good food awaits. To sum it up, we are just three hours from the gate of Yosemite and two hours from South Lake Tahoe and Heavenly Valley Ski Resort! We look forward to your visit to the Holiday Inn Express in Jackson, California! Cya soon!

Lovely stay - were we in the same hotel as some of these reviews?!

Reviewed By Maureen F

We found the hotel by chance having decided it was time to stop driving for the day. What a lucky find! Taylor who checked us in was so helpful & friendly, as were the ladies on duty next morning.Our room was excellent - big, airy & immaculately clean with everything we needed. Super-comfy bed & pillows & a lovely hot shower. The breakfast next morning was a nice surprise, being more substantial than we thought & it was very relaxed with no-one rushing us. The hotel was in excellent condition throughout & very well located for shops etc. I honestly don't know what people are complaining about reading some of the reviews as our experience was first class.

First Time at HH for Amador Wine Tasting

Reviewed By Albert R

Our first visit to HH will not be our last for sure! From getting information before the trip to checkin and then checkout/tour of rooms and cottages our stay was wonderful. The staff was outstanding and the room and food top notch. All the amenities we needed in the room were great and waking up to a fresh warm scone followed by breakfast delivered to room was a great way to start our short stay for two mornings. The heated floors in the bathroom was an added bonus that wont be forgotten soon. Looking forward to our next trip and planning ahead to get one of the cottage rooms for our next stay!

Perfect Work Retreat

Reviewed By G3305MGmelissao

My company stayed at Rest for a small staff retreat and it did not disappoint! It was perfectly cozy and inviting for our group of seven. The staff was wonderful and prepared for our every need, from the delicious meals all the way to our in-room conference/meeting. The staff was never too far away and always there to address our needs. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area. Tracey went out of her way to find evening options for our party, with a wine blending class at Fate Wines and then dinner at Taste Restaurant. Both were amazing and the proprietors really made our group feel special. Every part of the experience turned out great and I would not hesitate to return.

Absolutely awful

Reviewed By KyleKastner

Manager is one of the most unpleasant humans I've ever encountered. We overlooked the major fiasco checking in when their key system went down and they sent us to another hotel at 1am. We didn't mind that the hotel is under construction and the lobby, entrance and most common spaces are an absolute mess. The rooms are actually very nice and most of the staff is wonderful. It was checking out at 10:45am when I politely waited for the manager to finish chain smoking and taking personal calls in the entryway and asked for an extra 30min to check out because we were waiting for a ride to pickup our car which was left at a wedding venue. She was incredibly rude and unacammdating and insisted that the fire marshal was coming to inspect the hotel and all rooms needed to be vacated by 11am, which is absolute nonsense. She then suggested we leave our belongings in the lobby, which was completely unattended at all times because she was out smoking and talking on the phone all day. Absolute garbage person and she has no place in hospitality. Find a new manager after the remodel.
